An April 24 trial date was set Wednesday for a 23-year-old Adrian woman who is one four suspects charged in a near-fatal Dec. 29 assault on a Drexel Park man. The trial and an April 17 hearing were set for Jessica Lynn Miller.

Miller appeared for a hearing Wednesday before Judge Timothy P. Pickard on a charge of conspiracy to commit assault with intent to do great bodily harm. She remains in jail in lieu of a $500,000 bond set after her arrest in February.

Miller is accused of conspiring with the victim’s daughter, Jessica Mae-Ann Tabernero, 23, of Adrian, and James Graham Cooper Jr., 47, of Manitou Beach and Leondre Demond McCarver, 20, of Detroit. Tabernero faces the same conspiracy count as Miller while Cooper and McCarver face charges of conspiracy, assault with intent to murder, torture and home invasion. They are being held without bond.
